Boondooma Dam
The Boondooma Dam Caravan and Recreation Park is located 20 km north of Proston and is a drawcard for anglers, campers, bird-watchers, and water-sports enthusiasts. The dam was purpose-built in 1983 to provide a water supply to the Tarong Power Station. This Dam and accommodation facilities has been developed into a regional recreation area where the fishing is excellent and amenities second to none.
Fingerlings are released annually into the dam, with main species being golden perch (yellowbelly), silver perch and Australian bass. Boondooma Dam is a popular fishing destination due to the varied methods available from bait and lure fishing and deep fly tactics.
Boondooma Dam is considered one of the most consistent inland fishing spots in Queensland.
Numerous Yellowbelly and Australian Bass Fishing Competitions are held at the dam each year.
A stock impoundment permit is needed to fish. Accommodation available includes fully self-contained, air-conditioned cabins with lake views, villas set up at the lookout overlooking the dam, a bunkhouse, powered caravan sites ("Lookout" and "Lakeside Terraces") and water's edge camping sites.
Amenities available include hot showers and laundry facilities. The kiosk sells basic food items, ice creams, bait and tackle, wood and ice. Oil, premium unleaded and diesel fuel is available. Boat ramps, pontoon, camp kitchen, electric BBQ's and playground equipment ensure a fun time for every member of the family.
